Unable to use Curve 8320 with new pay as you go orange sim card

Hey everyone. If someone knows the answer to my dilemma, please help.
My dad just gave me his old Blackberry Curve 8320 Smartphone. He's hardly ever used it and it's been in a draw for a long while, anyway, today I bought an Orange pay-as-you-go sim card for it and having checked the blackberry is all charged up, have now tried it.
No matter what option I pick on (wizard set-up, help, Call Log and all the others), it comes up with on the screen saying:
My number
Then my dad's old number and a six digit number.
I don't know what to do and neither does my dad, so please help and thanks.

Welcome to the forums j9wolf
1. Was the phone previously with Orange? It may be locked to a specific carrier.
2. Can you make calls with the phone even if it shows the wrong number on there?
Also take a look at this article for steps to use before buying/selling a used blackberry: http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB05099

Unable to use huawei e173 with new iMac

I've just bought the new iMac and attempted to use my t-mobile huawei e173 dongle to connect to mobile broadband. The iMac won't even recognise it's existence. I've checked the system and found the USB ports, but nothing is connected.
It works on my Macbook Pro (2009 model, 10.8.2), so I wonder if it's the USB 3.0 port that is causing an issue - any idea how to rectify this?

Bought a new pay as you go sim, but not registering to network

Hi there, I just bought a new pay as you go EE sim card, when I insert it to my phone, the signal bar shows that it is picking up network signals, however, it is not registering to the network. I am unable to make any calls or send any texts. Please advise.

Have you go credit on the account? Have you tried rebooting the device. I bought a 10 pounds credit voucher, but i'm unable to call 150 or place any other calls. Also, i've rebooted my phone several times and tried removing the sim and inserting it back again...no luck.

Can I use unlock US iphone 4s with a pay as you UK sim card

Hi,
I'm looking to buy the iphone 4s here in the US but I travel to the UK alot, so would I be able to use a pay as you go UK sim card with the US iphone 4s? as this would be the cheapest option instead of paying for roaming fees. I know that Apple states that it is a world phone but just wanted to make this absolute before running of to the store next month.

You'll need to purchase an unlocked / SIM-free iPhone 4S in the US when the become available in November.
Buy one now, and it will be locked to the network, with no way of unlocking it.

How can I get a pay as you go nano sim for my Ipad mini celluler

I was bought an Ipad Mini Cellular for Xmas but it did not come with a nano sim, I have contacted all servcie providers and no-one can provide me with a pay as you go nano sim, I can only get a contract nano sim, but I want a daily one like you can get for the Ipad and micro sim.
All providers advertise the daily packages on the Apple website but when you speak to them they are not available.
I feel like have been mis sold the Ipad mini as I cannot use it with cellular daily plan, unless I requested a nano sim at time of purchase (which was not done), so now apple say they cant help, has anyone had a similar issue ?

If it is wifi only then you cannot add a sim card. If you are still within the 14 day return period then return it and purchase one plus a wireless plan from a wireless provider. Otherwise, you need a mobile hotspot to use when there is no wifi available.

A friend has given me his 02 apple 3g phone,but i'm on a pay as you go vodaphone sim.How do i access the phone

A friend has given me his old iphone 3g 02.I have a pay as you go vodaphone sim card.How do i access the new phone.

If locked to O2, you first need to get your friend to have O2 officially unlock it. Once done, you can then use it on Vodaphone's network. You can't get the phone unlocked, your friend needs to do this. Once O2 processes the unlock request, follow the directions here:

I have a Macbook with OS X 10.5.8. I am unable to use my iPhone with the iOS 6 upgrade on iTunes.

I have a Macbook with OS X 10.5.8. I am unable to use my iPhone with the iOS 6 upgrade on iTunes. Apparently I cannot downgrade to iOS 5 on my iPhone. Please tell me I don't have to pay anything to be able to use my products......

Which version of iTunes?
iTunes 10.6.3 - http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1575
Unless this is a new iPhone 5 I believe the older ones will work with iOS6 and iTunes 10.6.3. If it won't, you will need to upgrade operating system version.

How to use track effects with new version of GarageBand

In the version of GarageBand before this one, you could access different effects that you could manage and apply to the different tracks. Each track had an area containing its set of effects that were either activated or deactivated. With this removed, i am not sure how to add those same kind of effects. I am aware of the new nobs that are provided in order to mix and edit trebles, bass, mid, etc., but i want to be able to add different effects such as voice transformer, flanger, chorus, speech enhancer, bit crusher, bass amp, track echo, track reverb, amplifier, etc. I desperately need help finding out how to do this, as this was a major part of my mixing and producing with GarageBand, and without these given effects, i do not feel as comfortable using GarageBand.

I am unable to use my keyboard with out a delay, how do I fix this

I am unable to use my keaboard with out a delay. How do I fix this?

when just using safari to watch streaming television, my computer gets really slow, and locks up, and the dock appears blank
Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, or by a peripheral device.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output andWi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

Migrate from Curve 8320 with OS 4.5

How to migrate data from my Curve 8320 with OS4 to Q10 smartphone? BB Link is only for OS5 and above.

Well, there is no problem syncing the contacts and calendar. Unfortunately, the Link software for the BB10 devices does not sync tasks and memos. For that I recommend signing up for Evernote and transferring that data to Evernote. Then you can integrate Evernote as an Account in the Account settings.
Make sure your old device is sync'd up with Outlook.
Then download and install the Link software for the Q10 and set up the sync.
Do you have an email account somewhere? If so, where? GMail? Outlook.com?

HT1871 Hello i have one IPhone 4S and I use 3G net in my mobile sometime I have problem with temperature in my phone at the SIM card or battery how can I fix this problem. By update or version of 6.1.3

Hello i have one IPhone 4S and I use 3G net in my mobile sometime I have problem with temperature in my phone at the SIM card or battery how can I fix this problem. By update or version of 6.1.3

Could it be because the SIM card got damaged while I cut it to fit the IPhone?
Very likely. Hard to believe the carrier in Mexico doesn't have a micro-SIM card available.
Or somehow the Chinese carrier found out and locked it?
No, which is not possible.
What can I do? Get a new SIM and see if it works again?
Get a micro-SIM from the carrier in Mexico that you don't have to manually cut down. If that carrier doesn't provide one, switch to another carrier that is not so low-budget.

Can I use iPad pay as you go nano sim in iPhone 5s?

can I use an iPad pay as you go nano sim in my iPhone 5s? Thank you. Jackie

The chances are that it will only provide data not voice in the same way most carriers ensure a iPhone sim will not work in a non voice device such as an iPad
Carriers are adept at ensuring only sims with valid tariffs are used

If I buy a new wifi cellular ipad with ATT can I swap the micro sim card to other overseas carriers when traveling?

iPads are not Carrier locked and as long as you are happy with a 3G signal
you can buy a PAYG data sim in many countries

Buy from Apple Store and you can guarantee no issues

If I'm understanding you correctly, those apps have stopped working and you are getting a message saying that they won't work with this version of Mac OS X when you try to open them. Is that right? If so, have you moved those apps out of their original locations? That is a bad idea, as it prevents them from being properly updated. If this is what has happened, what version of the system were you running before they stopped working, and what version are you running now, after installing the update that has made them stop working?
